i was supposedly in one while in Japan in 1966-1967 and then in CAlifornia a bit after that. I was too young to remember. My mother said a few hit Amarillo Texas but were light but she knew they were earthquakes. I guess all I have for my personal experience is seeing a tornado a few yrs ago that was less then 2 miles east of me. First and hopefully last time for me I hope.

I was watching a few newsreports on te internet then i got engrossed in the stupidity of the people at El Dorado texas thing that is going on... another Waco thing with David Keresh if you ask me!
